Did Nostradamus Predict The Rise and Fall of Communism in Russia?

After this the sterile Dame, of greater power than the second (the third Reich?), shall be received by two nations, by the first made obstinate by him who had power over all, by the second, and third, that shall extend his forces towards; the circuit of the east of Europe; [arrived] there his standards will stop and succumb, but by sea he will run on to Trinacria and the Adriatic with his mirmidons.

The Germans will succumb wholly and the Barbaric sect will be disquieted and driven back by the whole of the Latin race.

Then shall begin the grand Empire of Antichrist in the Atila and Xerxes, [who is] to descend with innumerable multitudes, so that the coming of the Holy Spirit, issuing from the 48th degree, shall make a transmigration, chasing away the abomination of Antichrist, that made war upon the royal person of the great vicar of Jesus Christ, and against His Church, and reign per tempus, et in occasione temporis [for a time, and to the end of time].

This will be preceded by an eclipse of the sun, more obscure and tenebrose than has ever been since the creation of the world, up to the death and passion of Jesus Christ, and from thence till now. There will be in the month of October a grand revolution made, such that one would think that the librating body of the earth had lost its natural movement in the abyss of perpetual darkness.

There will be seen precursive signs in the spring-time, and after extreme changes ensuing, reversal of kingdoms, and great earthquakes. All this accompanied with the procreations of the New Babylon , a miserable prostitute big with the abomination of the first holocaust . It will only continue for seventy-three years seven months. 1917-1991.

The countries, towns, cities, and provinces that had forsaken their old customs to free themselves, enthralling themselves more deeply, shall become secretly weary of their liberty, and, true religion lost, shall commence by striking off to the left, to return more than ever to the right.(I think this applies more to communist Germany than Russia)

It takes considerable literary contortions to force fit the "predictions" of Nostradamus into modern events. Communism is still very much alive and well in Russia and in its deliberately hegemonic foreign policy. Putin's doctrine for the post-Soviet era reflects his ambitions for Russian expansion, particularly in the Middle East and Pacific rim regions. His kinder and gentler "soft power" (Moscow style) is rooted in the Soviet and czarist past and his own background as a former KGB agent (and later head of the FSB) turned cunning politician.

Recent events in Syria have revealed Putins's true intentions by affirming strong warnings to other countries not to interfere with the "internal affairs" of sovereign regimes. By wielding his veto power in the UN security council as a formidable weapon of war, and fortifying Syria with massive munitions, Putin has demonstrated his own expansionist intentions. And his own brutality, for example in crushing the Chechen rebels, pales in comparison to Assad. No matter how one may twist the quatrains of Nostradamus around, I have never seen any reference to real historical predictions without injecting vivid imagination.

I was going to say much the same, but so many have said communism is dead in russia, and the cold war is over.

Of course, the cold war is NOT over. If it were, countries would be at and remain at parity or reduce. They wouldn't build up like north korea, china, and YEAH, RUSSIA! And russia is Still similar to how it was.

One of my favorites for many years (used by hucksters to profit from the end of the world mania in 1999) is that Nostradamus "predicted" a great comet, Nibiru, rogue planet, Planet X, etc would hit the earth:

"The year 1999, seventh month,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror:
To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols,
Before and after Mars to reign by good luck."

I still have no idea how anyone but the most imaginative could have arrived at such an interpretation. But when nothing happened on that date, inventive marketers then said the calendar was in error, since it was changed from Julian to Gregorian in the year 1582.

The far more "accurate" astronomical Mayan calendar ended on December 21, 2012. People really were led to believe that the end of the world prediction by Nostradamus coincided with the end of the Mayan calendar.

A new law will emerge in the new world of America,
At a time when Syria, Judeau and Palestine are significant:
The great barbarian empire of patriarchy that men have created will decay
During the time that the feminine spirit is completing its cycle."

I doubt the authenticity of this quatrain. I can not remember Nostradamus ever mentioning "America" directly. He used the "new world" or "etas unis". I can't remember him ever mentioning Palestine, either. I could be wrong, but I doubt it's an authentic Nostradamus quatrain.

Claude, don't you realize that this entire forum is simply a figment of my imagination? Every single person here is just a different portion of my subconscious trying to get out. In fact, you're only here because I once ate a bad burrito.

Was it a bald, huge, pompous, self-important burrito? I would like to think that it took a giant burrito to make me. Because I'm Special.

Always looking to learn from other warriors. Anyone in the web design space consistently getting great (high-quality) leads through Facebook (or other paid) ads?
My stream of clients is typically via word of mouth, but thats dependent on others, and not scalable. Some have referenced ways to generate leads like a spigot of water you can turn on or off. I've tried Facebook ads but they typically tend to be clients that have a $500 budget. I have not tried LinkedIn ads (yet)..
